TRUSTEE, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellees.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Carol A. Forti appeals from the district court’s order
denying her motion for a stay of the disbursement of funds in
her bankruptcy case pending appeal. All funds of the bankruptcy
estate have now been distributed and a discharge granted.
Accordingly, this appeal is moot. See In re Stadium Mgt. Corp.,
895 F.2d 845, 847 (1st Cir. 1990) (“Absent a stay, the court
must dismiss a pending appeal as moot because the court has no
remedy that it can fashion even if it would have determined the
issues differently.”). We deny Forti’s pending motions and
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
